A look inside

Opening story over the Old City square, with a peepal tree and an auto-rickshaw: court legend says nine guardian gems were hidden in the city’s great works

Walk inside the Pink City

Real monuments

Ride the winds up the honeycomb face of the Hawa Mahal, walk the shadows of the great stone sundial at the Jantar Mantar, and turn the mirrors of Amer Fort’s Sheesh Mahal until a sunbeam finds its gem.

The Old City between them

Walk the pink arcades, cross Badi Chaupar and follow Tripolia Bazaar to the palace gates, or ride a rickshaw between monuments. When a gem comes home, the bazaar lights up for a festival night of lamps and marigolds.

Time Echoes

Touch a shimmer in the stone and watch history play out where it happened, from Jai Singh II laying out his city on nine squares to the Palace of Winds rising in 1799.

An Explorer’s Journal

Every fact you uncover is checked against two sources and kept in your journal. Test yourself with Shastri-ji under the peepal tree.

Heritage Walks

Reopen a finished monument as a golden-hour walk, with no enemies and no hurry.

Made for everyone

Simple one-thumb controls with a left-handed mode, and no reading needed to play. No blood, no death, and nothing lost when you stumble.

Three of the nine gems, so far

This release brings home three of the nine gems, from the Hawa Mahal, the Jantar Mantar and Amer Fort, with the Old City to walk between them. More monuments are on the way.
